Overview

Open Publishing Freedom is a mission to preserve the liberty to publish without permission. This project safeguards a space where independent voices can create, share, and engage with readers without gatekeeping or undue barriers. By supporting this effort, you help sustain the tools, hosting, and governance that keep open publishing resilient, accountable, and accessible to people around the world.

Our aim is clear: empower a diverse ecosystem of writers, researchers, artists, and communities to publish on their own terms. With steady support, Open Publishing Freedom can evolve from a promise into a stable, lasting infrastructure—one that prioritizes trust, clarity, and openness while respecting readers and creators alike.
